Erm, not so fast on the Demoscummic takeover of the Senate there, Sparky. Looks like one of the leftist fucktards just had himself a stroke.

(Which is, come to think of it, hard to figure out. A stroke is defined as a brain hemorrhage, right? So how can a Demoscum have a hemorrhage of something he doesn’t possess?)

Anyway, let’s roll the story, courtesy of NewsMax…

Democratic Sen. Tim Johnson of South Dakota suffered a possible stroke Wednesday and was taken to a hospital, his office said.

If he should be unable to continue to serve, it could halt the scheduled Democratic takeover of the Senate. Democrats won a 51-49 majority in the November election. South Dakota’s governor, who would appoint any temporary replacement, is a Republican.

And if he has better than the brains of a tick, anyone he appoints to fill any vacancy will be a Republican. Which would leave the split at 50-50 – actually, 50-48-2 if you really wanna get technical – and ties go to Dick Cheney. Meh.

South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson said there are no special restrictions on such an appointment and a replacement does not have to be in the same political party.

Sounds to me like Chrissie’s a Demoscum whistling past the graveyard, doesn’t it?

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated. (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)
